New booklet to tempt meat lovers

Recipes include Beef with Dried Mushrooms, an easy dinner-party meal that makes use of more affordable beef cuts.

Said Hartnett: “Choosing cheaper cuts of meat such as rump or flank allows you to enjoy the same great flavour but at a lower cost – which is important as we know how expensive the festive season can become.”

For dinner-party nibbles with a difference, she suggests Lamb Blinis with Marinated Peppers and Herb Relish, which are made with pieces of lean lamb rump or leg steaks.

The winter edition of Simply beef and lamb is available from Quality Standard butchers, by calling 0870 606 3030, or it can be downloaded at simplybeefandlamb.co.uk.
